Automatic form fill backend

[markus12345]

Hello guys,
i got a little tricky problem with the forms in the backend. i created allready a button in the backend. That button copy all previeous values from the edit view form and should fill them to the next form with a new itemid. My problem is that i cant use javascript in that case. I tried several way's like writing an own bind method or trying to overwrite the save() function. But is there a possibility to solve this stuff in an easy way? Thanks for any Help

Couldn't you call a save method to write the data to your tables, get the insert id and redirect to the edit view for that id?
